In addition, about the transfer between the 1st menu screen M1 and the 2nd menu screen M2, the accompanying drawing that changes institute's reference is set forth below.
(structure of the 1st menu screen M1)
Then,, with reference to Fig. 3, the structure of the 1st menu screen M1 being generated by menu screen generating unit 12 is described.Fig. 3 means the picture structure figure of the structure of the 1st menu screen M1.
As shown in Figure 3, the 1st menu screen M1 is configured to and comprises: object content L, N (N≤2, N=7 in present embodiment) thumbnail image Ta～Tg, 9 icon I1～I9, time information R1 and Weather information R2.
Object content L utilizes 15 pairs of contents that provided by the selected target of interrupteur SW 1 source of convergent-divergent handling part to carry out the content obtaining after convergent-divergent.As shown in Figure 3, this object content L is disposed at the central upper of the 1st menu screen M1.In the situation that target source is tuner, object content L is current in progress content.In this meaning, also object content L is called to live content.
Thumbnail image Ta～Tg be thumbnail image generating unit 11 generate respectively with the corresponding image of source A～G.As shown in Figure 3, these thumbnail images Ta～Tg is configured to arrange below object content L linearity.Now, the right-hand member that makes thumbnail image Ta coincides with the left end of thumbnail image Tb that is disposed at the right side of thumbnail image Ta, and the left end that makes thumbnail image Ta coincides with the right-hand member of thumbnail image Tg that is disposed at the left side of thumbnail image Ta.Other thumbnail images Tb～Tg is also same.
The context of thumbnail image Ta～Tg is set as: offside in front face side the closer to central authorities, more offside in rear side away from central authorities.In addition, the size of thumbnail image Ta～Tg is set as: larger the closer to central authorities, more less away from central authorities.And, for being positioned at central thumbnail, at image (in Fig. 3 for thumbnail image Ta), show up and down leg-of-mutton designator.Thus, can make user know to be positioned at central thumbnail image to be focused.
Time information R1 and Weather information R2 are the information being got by real time information acquisition unit 16.As shown in Figure 3, time information R1 comprises constantly, date and what day, and is disposed at the blank space in the left side of object content L.On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, Weather information R2 comprises weather, the highest temperature and the lowest temperature relevant to today and tomorrow, and is disposed at the blank space on the right side of object content L.
Icon I1～icon I9 is the icon corresponding with available Web service in executable application in content display 1 or content display 1 etc.Icon I1～I9 is disposed at the blank space of the below of thumbnail image Ta～Tg.In addition, each icon I1～I9 in advance with the channel selection button (button 1, button 2, button 3 etc., sometimes also referred to as channel key) of remote controller in any be associated.Therefore,, as long as user presses the channel selection button being associated with desirable application or Web service, just can start to utilize this application or Web service.
Thus, in the structure that thumbnail image Ta～Tg is configured to linearity arranges, have advantages of can in picture, arrange concentrated blank.For example, in the situation that thumbnail image Ta～Tg is mixed with to horizontal straight line, at least either side in side or downside arranges concentrated blank thereon.In addition,, in the situation that thumbnail image Ta～Tg being mixed with longitudinally to straight line, can concentrated blank be set at least either side in its left side or downside.Therefore, can show user's Useful Information in this blank space.
In present embodiment, adopt the structure that thumbnail image Ta～Tg is configured to horizontal straight line, thereby side and these both sides of downside arrange concentrated blank thereon.So, in the blank of upside, configure object content L, time information R1 and Weather information R2, configure icons I1～I9 in the blank of downside.The information of the real-time update such as time information R1, Weather information R2 is for user's Useful Information, and this point is self-evident.
Focusing movement in the 1st menu screen M1 is undertaken by the mode shown in Fig. 4.Fig. 4 means the picture transition diagram of the move mode focusing in the 1st menu screen M1.
For example, under the state M1a being focused at thumbnail image Ta, if receive the remote controller signal that the right button of remote controller is supressed in expression, menu screen generating unit 12 makes thumbnail image Tf, Tg, Ta, Tb, Tc, Td to shifting left, and makes thumbnail image Te move to right-hand member from left end.Thus, the thumbnail image of focusing (being disposed at central thumbnail image) changes to the thumbnail image Tb that is disposed at its right side from thumbnail image Ta.
Similarly, under the state M1b being focused at thumbnail image Tb, if receive the remote controller signal that the right button of remote controller is supressed in expression, menu screen generating unit 12 makes thumbnail image Tg, Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, Te to shifting left, and makes thumbnail image Tf move to right-hand member from left end.Thus, the thumbnail image of focusing (being disposed at central thumbnail image) changes to the thumbnail image Tc that is disposed at its right side from thumbnail image Tb.
If receive under the state M1c, the M1d that are focused at other thumbnail image Tc, Td, Te, Tf, Tg, M1e, M1f, M1g, represent to supress the remote controller signal of the right button of remote controller, menu screen generating unit 12 is also carried out identical focusing and is moved.
On the other hand, under the state M1a being focused at thumbnail image Ta, if receive the remote controller signal that the left button of remote controller is supressed in expression, menu screen generating unit 12 makes thumbnail image Tc, Tb, Ta, Tg, Tf, Te right shift, and makes thumbnail image Td move to left end from right-hand member.Thus, the thumbnail image of focusing (being disposed at central thumbnail image) changes to the thumbnail image Tg that is disposed at its left side from thumbnail image Ta.
Similarly, under the state M1g being focused at thumbnail image Tg, if receive the remote controller signal that the left button of remote controller is supressed in expression, menu screen generating unit 12 makes thumbnail image Tb, Ta, Tg, Tf, Te, Td right shift, and makes thumbnail image Tc move to left end from right-hand member.Thus, the thumbnail image of focusing (being disposed at central thumbnail image) changes to the thumbnail image Tf that is disposed at its left side from thumbnail image Tg.
If receive under the state M1f, the M1e that are focused at other thumbnail image Tf, Te, Td, Tc, Tb, M1d, M1c, M1b, represent to supress the remote controller signal of the left button of remote controller, menu screen generating unit 12 is also carried out identical focusing and is moved.
In addition, to carry out the structure of the focusing (thumbnail image is to shifting left) that moves right when again pressing the right button of remote controller at every turn, be illustrated, but be not limited to this.That is, for example, also can adopt following structure: continue to press remote controller right button during, time interval Δ t in accordance with regulations (for example, Δ t=0.5 second) carries out the focusing that moves right successively.No matter adopt which kind of structure, in the time that continues to press the right button of remote controller, reach stipulated time Δ T (Δ T > Δ t, for example, Δ T=2 second) in the moment, menu screen generating unit 12 is switched from the 1st menu screen M1 the menu screen of generation to the 2nd menu screen M2.
Similarly, the structure that is moved to the left focusing (thumbnail image right shift) when again pressing the left button of remote controller to carry out is at every turn illustrated, but is not limited to this.That is, for example, also can adopt following structure: continue to press remote controller left button during, time interval Δ t in accordance with regulations (for example, Δ t=0.5 second) carries out and is moved to the left focusing successively.No matter adopt which kind of structure, in the time that continues to press the left button of remote controller, reach stipulated time Δ T (Δ T > Δ t, for example, Δ T=2 second) in the moment, menu screen generating unit 12 is switched from the 1st menu screen M1 the menu screen of generation to the 2nd menu screen M2.
(structure of the 2nd menu screen M2)
Then,, with reference to Fig. 5, the structure of the 2nd menu screen M2 being generated by menu screen generating unit 12 is described.Fig. 5 means the picture structure figure of the structure of the 2nd menu screen M2.
As shown in Figure 5, the 2nd menu screen M2 is configured to and comprises: object content L, N (N≤2, N=7 in present embodiment) thumbnail image Ta～Tg (one of them is hidden in the back side of object content L) and 9 icon I1～I9.
Object content L is identical with the object content L1 that is contained in the 1st menu screen M1, is to utilize the content that target source that 15 pairs of convergent-divergent handling parts are selected by interrupteur SW 1 provides to carry out the content obtaining after convergent-divergent.In the 2nd menu screen M2, the configuration of object content is identical with the configuration of object content in the 1st menu screen M1.
Thumbnail image Ta～Tg is identical with the thumbnail image being contained in the 1st menu screen M1, be thumbnail image generating unit 11 generate respectively with the corresponding image of source A～G.It is ring-type that these thumbnail images Ta～Tg be take the mode alignment arrangements of surrounding object content L in the represented imaginary three dimensions of the 2nd menu screen M2.One in thumbnail image Ta～Tg (in Fig. 5, being thumbnail image Te) is made as to the back side that is hidden in object content L, do not show.
Icon I1～icon I9 is identical with the icon being contained in the 1st menu screen M1, is the icon corresponding with available Web service in executable application in content display 1 or content display 1 etc.In the 2nd menu screen M2, the configuration of icon I1～I9 is identical with the configuration of icon I1～I9 in the 1st menu screen M1.
This is that circular structure has advantages of and this information of the movement periodically focusing on can be conveyed to user in understandable mode by thumbnail image Ta～Tg alignment arrangements.That is, in the structure that is linearity by thumbnail image Ta～Tg alignment arrangements, for example, moving right while focusing on, indigestion is followed this situation of thumbnail image Te (with reference to Fig. 4) that can focus on left end after the thumbnail image Td of right-hand member.On the other hand, thumbnail image Ta～Tg is being configured in circular structure, it is no longer difficult that this understanding becomes.
In addition, in thumbnail image Ta～Tg alignment arrangements being become to circular structure, compare with the structure of shape that thumbnail image Ta～Tg alignment arrangements is in line, having advantages of can be by wider space for showing thumbnail image Ta～Tg.Thus, for example, in the structure of shape that thumbnail image Ta～Tg alignment arrangements is in line, the whole covering by thumbnail image Tb of the left end of thumbnail image Tc and be hidden (with reference to Fig. 4 M1a), and thumbnail image Ta～Tb is being configured in circular structure, can change hardly the size of thumbnail image, and only make a part for the left end of thumbnail image Tc be covered and be hidden by thumbnail image Tb.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the number that is simultaneously shown in the thumbnail image of the 1st menu screen M1 is 7, and the number that is simultaneously shown in the thumbnail image of the 2nd menu screen M2 is 7 (wherein 1 is hidden), but is not limited to this.That is, in the situation that being circular by thumbnail image alignment arrangements, compare with the situation that is linearity by thumbnail image alignment arrangements, can show more thumbnail image with visual state.Therefore, for example, in the situation that selectable source is 10, can consider to adopt following structure, that is: in the 1st menu screen M1, show and in the 2nd menu screen M2, show whole 10 thumbnail images (can the thumbnail image size away from focal position be arranged littlely) by 7 thumbnail images in these 10 thumbnail images.
Continue to press right button or left button during, thumbnail image Ta～Tb is rotated in the mode around object content L in the represented imaginary three dimensions of the 2nd menu screen M2.In the 2nd menu screen, the rotation of thumbnail image Ta～Tb is carried out according to the mode shown in Fig. 6.Fig. 6 means the picture transition diagram of the rotation mode of thumbnail image Ta～Tb in the 2nd menu screen M2.
For example, at thumbnail image Ta, Tb, be configured under top state M2a, if continue, press the right button of remote controller, menu screen generating unit 12 moves to thumbnail image Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf, Tg respectively the position of thumbnail image Tg, Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf.Consequently, thumbnail image Tf is hidden into the back side of object content L, and thumbnail image Te appears on picture.
Similarly, at thumbnail image Tb, Tc, be configured under top state M2b, if continue, press the right button of remote controller, menu screen generating unit 12 moves to thumbnail image Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf, Tg respectively the position of thumbnail image Tg, Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf.Consequently, thumbnail image Tg is hidden into the back side of object content L, and thumbnail image Tf appears on picture.
If be configured in the right button that continues to press remote controller under top state M2c, M2d, M2e, M2f, M2g at other thumbnail images, menu screen generating unit 12 is also carried out identical rotation and is processed.
On the other hand, at thumbnail image Ta, Tb, be configured under top state M2a, if continue, press the left button of remote controller, menu screen generating unit 12 moves to thumbnail image Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf, Tg respectively the position of thumbnail image Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf, Tg, Ta.Consequently, thumbnail image Td is hidden into the back side of object content L, and thumbnail image Te appears on picture.
Similarly, at thumbnail image Tg, Ta, be configured under top state M2g, if continue, press the left button of remote controller, menu screen generating unit 12 moves to thumbnail image Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf, Tg respectively the position of thumbnail image Tb, Tc, Td, Te, Tf, Tg, Ta.Consequently, thumbnail image Tc is hidden into the back side of object content L, and thumbnail image Td appears on picture.
If be configured in the left button that continues to press remote controller under top state M2f, M2e, M2d, M2c, M2b at other thumbnail images, menu screen generating unit 12 is also carried out identical rotation and is processed.
In addition, here, for convenience of explanation, the state of thumbnail image Ta～Tg is divided into 7 kinds of state M2a～M2g and describes, but the rotation of thumbnail image Ta～Tg is carried out glibly.That is, the position of thumbnail image Ta～Tg changes continuously, rather than changes discretely.
Thus, be configured in circular thumbnail image Ta～Tg structure in rotary moving making, except easily grasping this advantage of periodicity of thumbnail image Ta～Tg, also there is the completeness (showing thumbnail image Ta～Tg without omitting ground) that can easily grasp thumbnail image Ta～Tg.
That is,, in the structure of thumbnail image Ta～Tg parallel that makes to be configured to linearity, have to use the thumbnail image shifting out from one end of menu screen M1 is moved into such presentation mode from the other end of menu screen M1.For example, thus when the state that makes thumbnail image Ta～Tg by bottom right button shifts to M1b from the M1a of Fig. 4, the thumbnail image Te shifting out from the left end of menu screen M1 moves into from the right-hand member of menu screen M1.Yet in this case, user is difficult to grasp this situation of the completeness of not damaging thumbnail image.This is because, the thumbnail image position moving into and the position of shifting out are at a distance of larger, is therefore difficult to the sum whether identification has still kept thumbnail image Ta～Tg.
On the other hand, be configured to, in circular thumbnail image Ta～Tg structure in rotary moving, without making thumbnail image from shift out/shift-in of menu screen M2, therefore, can not produce this problem making.As in the present embodiment, employing is hidden into a part of thumbnail image Ta～Tg in the situation of structure at the back side of object content L, because thumbnail image only moves as follows, be that thumbnail image is from the right side (or left side) of the back side → object content L of left side (or right side) → object content L of object content L, therefore, user can easily grasp this situation of the completeness that can not damage thumbnail image.
(from the transfer of the 1st menu screen M1 to the 2 menu screen M2)
Then, the transfer process from the 1st menu screen M1 to the 2 menu screen M2 with reference to Fig. 7 explanation.Fig. 7 means from the picture transition diagram of the transfer process of the 1st menu screen M1 to the 2 menu screen M2.Here, show for example the transfer process occurring in the situation that showing the 1st menu screen M1 duration by right button.In Fig. 7, be presented at the intermediateness that central picture M3 is the 1st menu screen M1 and the 2nd menu screen M2.
When showing the 1st menu screen M1, if long, press right button, menu screen generating unit 12 makes menu screen be changed to intermediateness M3 from the 1st menu screen M1 in the following manner.
That is, in deletion content choice, there is no special real time information R1, the R2 needing, and thumbnail image Te is moved into place in the position at the back side of object content L.In addition, by thumbnail image Tf, Tg, Ta, Tb, Tc, Td are moved to the left, and thumbnail image Tf, Tg, Ta, Tb, Tc, Td are improved gradually to upside, thereby thumbnail image Ta～Tg is configured close to annulus.
Then, menu screen generating unit 12 is changed to the 2nd menu screen M2 by menu screen from intermediateness M3 in the following manner.
That is, the thumbnail image Tf that makes to be positioned at the left side of object content L moves to the position at the back side that is hidden in object content L, and the thumbnail image Te that is hidden in the back side of object content L before making it moves to the right side of object content, thereby appears on picture.And, by being moved further thumbnail image Tg, Ta, Tb, Tc, Td, thereby realize the annulus configuration of thumbnail image Ta～Tg.
What pay close attention to here, is that position and the size of object content L remain unchanged when menu screen is shifted from the 1st menu screen M1 to the 2nd menu screen M2.Therefore, while in the situation that watching object content to make menu screen transfer to the 2nd menu screen M2 from the 1st menu screen M1, can not hinder watching of object content, can interrupt targets content yet watch.In addition, due to the larger object content L of load has been carried out to convergent-divergent processing, therefore, can not damage from the fluency of the transfer of the 1st menu screen M1 to the 2 menu screen M2, yet.
Under the state of the 2nd menu screen M2, if remove to the right button of remote controller or left button continue press, menu screen generating unit 12 makes shown menu screen shift to the 1st menu screen M1 from the 2nd menu screen M2.From the transfer of the 2nd menu screen M2 to the 1 menu screen M1, also with from the transfer of the 1st menu screen M1 to the 2 menu screen M2 carry out equally glibly.Therefore, if using Fig. 7 as example, removing to the length of the right button of remote controller on time, shown menu screen changes as follows, that is: from menu screen M2 → intermediateness M3 → menu screen M1.
In addition, also can carry out the movement of thumbnail image with manipulation knob or the such member of touch pad, to replace the left and right press key (specific operation, the 1st user's operation) that utilizes single to press remote controller, carry out the movement of thumbnail.In this case, the operation that is equivalent to utilize the left button of remote controller to carry out such as sliding on the clockwise action of manipulation knob, touch sensor etc. left, the lasting rotation of manipulation knob, the lasting slip on touch pad be equivalent to remote controller key continue press.
In addition, carry out length that user from from the 1st menu screen M1 to the transfer of the 2nd menu screen M2 operation (the 2nd user's operation) is not limited to button by, can be also surpass regulation threshold value button connect fast fast rotational and the such operation of the quick sliding on touch pad by, manipulation knob.
